Paraleipsis \Par`a*leip"sis\, n. [NL., fr. Gr. ?, fr. ? to leave
   on one side, to omit; ? beside + ? to leave.] (Rhet.)
   A pretended or apparent omission; a figure by which a speaker
   artfully pretends to pass by what he really mentions; as, for
   example, if an orator should say, ``I do not speak of my
   adversary's scandalous venality and rapacity, his brutal
   conduct, his treachery and malice.'' [Written also
   {paralepsis}, {paralepsy}, {paralipsis}.]
